This invention in general relates to a composition of matter and moreparticularly to a putty having for its object the provision of animproved composition of the kind indicated with certain desired featureswhich keep the putty in a homogeneous moist condition without the usualseeping of the fluids contained therein to the surface of the solidingredients employed.

Another object of the invention is to provide a putty which will notcling to the hands of the user which hitherto has entailed muchinconvenience both to store-keepers handling putty and to those engagedin actually working and applying it in the different industries.

As is well known, when putty is handled it has a tendency to stick tothe fingers of the user entailing considerable time for its removal, andin the case of store-keepers where handling food products necessitatingthe frequent washing of the hands and the employment of powerfulsolvents, in order to remove all trace of the oils andpigments whichwould contaminate food products coming in contact therewith. e

In carrying into practice the object of the present invention I employthe following ingredients preferably in the proportions indicated althoI do not confine myself to the precise ratio indicated as this issusceptible of considerable variation. The following composition hasbeen found by me to yield the desirable results indicated above PoundsMarble dust Whiting 17 3 Asbestos (ground) 6. Special heavy pure linseedoil 4 Machine oil 1 Parafiin oil 32% The above putty I'have found can bekept indefinitely in the usual containers without becoming hard and dryat the bottom and excessively softon top, which is a defect well I eknown to those handling the conventional V putty employed in the variousindustries at the present time.

It will, of course be understood that while I have described a puttywith a preferred proportioning of ingredients certain slight changes maybe made therein without departingfrom the spirit or sacrificing any ofthe advantages of the invention, hence I do not confine 'myselfliterally thereto, save to the extent indicated within the limits of theappended claim.
